Refrigeration Problem of the Week: Compressor Failed to Start

Large commercial and industrial refrigeration systems are, despite their mammoth size, routinely affected by small, unseen issues. Small, of course, referring to the physical component experiencing the issue (fuses, switches, wiring) and not to their potential negative impact.

Compressor Short Cycling: A Hard-to-Find Energy Waster

Short cycling occurs in your compressor when a mechanical failure is causing the run times to terminate prematurely and since set point has not been achieved, it restarts shortly afterward, thus requiring more compressor ‘ON’ time to compensate.

Cold Storage Facilities Turn to Technology to Boost Efficiency

Everything from remote access to temperature settings and defrost cycles, to robotic forklifts, to high-efficiency LED lighting systems are helping these facilities better manage costs and their important systems, according to a new article in The Packer.
